If you go to Application Builder and select from the right hand Tasks the “APEX Views” link you see a description of all views. For the new views this is the description:

For some reason the Team Development views are not listed in this report.

It’s always interesting to review these views as they give you more insight into your application or to use them to have a look at the application behind the scenes. We have been using them for reporting an application or send automated QA feedback.
